Politiques de soutien aux personnes seules en France et au Québec

Ce projet de recherche propose une étude comparative des politiques de soutien aux personnes vivant seules en France et au Québec, deux contextes ayant des approches distinctes face à cette catégorie de population. Les individus vivant seuls, en augmentation constante dans les sociétés occidentales, présentent souvent des caractéristiques socio-économiques spécifiques, comme des revenus et des patrimoines plus bas et un accès limité au logement de qualité. Cependant, les politiques publiques ne prennent pas toujours en compte leurs conditions de vie spécifiques, liées au fait de ne pas cohabiter. En dressant un inventaire des dispositifs fiscaux et sociaux dans les deux contextes, ce projet vise à évaluer dans quelle mesure les personnes seules sont reconnues et soutenues par l’action publique.

Oleogel structured emulsions as plant-based dairy cream alternatives

Dairy products like milk and cream, as well as their vegan alternatives, are emulsions. In emulsions oil or fat droplets are dispersed in a water-based, protein-rich phase. Usually, these fat droplets consists out of saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature and impact the mouthfeel through their melting behaviour. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are liquid what therefore changes the mouthfeel of the emulsion. To solve this, we use oleogelation to gel unsaturated fats. By adding small amounts of structuring agents like sunflower wax or ethyl cellulose, we create oleogels that are suitable for the use in dairy cream alternatives. This allows us to create a better mouthfeel in emulsions that use unsaturated fats. With this project, Canada is therefore helping to develop healthier and more sustainable dairy cream alternatives with improved mouthfeel.

GRA-JSPS: Automated Metabolomics Software Tool for Nutritional Assessment of Diet Quality in Urine

A poor diet quality and overconsumption of ultra-processed foods represent a looming public health crisis as reflected by a global ‘pandemic’ of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. Nutritional studies are prone to bias and misreporting as they typically rely on questionnaires to assess the role of diet on human health outcomes in large populations. This proposal aims to develop a new software tool for rapid and reliable assessment of a panel of urinary dietary biomarkers of food intake when using high throughput capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) technology. This collaborative research project will bring together leading research groups at McMaster University (Hamilton, Canada) and SFC-Keio University (Tsuruoka, Japan) with longstanding interests in advancing CE-MS based metabolomics as required for new advances in precision nutrition and chronic disease prevention.

Environmental monitoring, camera data collection and modelling in CEA

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is progressing toward innovative solutions specifically with remote monitoring instrumentation and artificial intelligence, can predict and detect physiological plant characteristics that will improve crop yield. The overall objective of this study is to design and build a test growth chamber to evaluate and remotely monitor environmental conditions and plant health. Environmental data will be collected with and without plants to understand sensor range and consistency. After building and testing the system, different plant species (oats, barley, canola, wild tobacco, medicinal plants, and possibly others) will be tested in situ to monitor plant growth and plant architecture. The collected environmental data with plant production data will be linked to develop an environmental thermal and mass flow model to better understand the operational parameters of this experimental growth space, provide valuable insight into assessing microclimate variability in CEA.

Heat Stress in Dairy Animals: Classification, Genetic Selection and Production Index

The objectives of the present study are to: evaluate the effects of environmental temperature on circadian variation of rectal temperature in dairy animals; determine thermo-resistant and thermo-sensitive groups of animals based on this temperature variation; examine new parameters for the ascertainment of caloric stress (e.g., minimum and maximum temperature ratio, number of hours above a certain temperature, and new bounds of temperature and humidity index (THI) more adapted to Brazilian conditions); how this new classification impacts the animals’ productivity, and the possibility of selecting thermo-resistant animals using genomic technologies. The use of automatic devices for animal monitoring allows for a detailed analysis and provides new insight into the thermo-regulation capacity of dairy cows.

Models of synchronous machines and renewable energies for the SPS library of Simulink Matlab

With the growing integration of renewable energy into power networks, their dynamic behavior has undergone significant changes. To ensure stability, it is essential to accurately model the dynamic behavior of key equipment,
such as synchronous generators and inverter-based sources, within these networks. This project focuses on the implementation, analysis, development, and validation of established models for synchronous generators, solar,
and battery systems. The detailed models of mentioned equipment will be implemented using MATLAB Simulink (particularly within the SPS library). The performance of these models will then be evaluated and validated against
established standards such as IEEE Std. 1110, WECC, and NERC, and compared with output results from other software, including PSS/E and DIgSILENT PowerFactory. On the other hand, implementing the accurate dynamic
model of these equipment in SPS library, which belongs to Hydro-Quebec (IREQ), can assist in the future dynamic studies of the network in IREQ.

Propagation and Conservation of Heritage Grapevines – Vitis vinifera Pinot Gris ‘Gray Monk’

Cold temperatures in January 2024 devastated vineyards in the Okanagan and commercial vineyards responded by pulling out damaged vines. Surprisingly, in mid-June latent buds were observed on some of the cold-damaged grapevines. In collaboration with the vineyard team at Gray Monk Winery and Andrew Peller Estates, a MSc student in Sustainability at UBC Okanagan proposes to work to understand the impacts of the cold damage and climate resilience in Vitis vinifera L. Pinot Gris ‘Gray Monk’. The subvarietal ‘Gray Monk’ was planted in 1977 and the objective of the vineyard is a replanting program for expansion and conservation of their brand type. We propose to use plant tissue culture protocols to produce sufficient vines for replanting. Mass propagation of the vines requires that we select the appropriate explant tissue with the potential to regenerate, optimize of the culture media to establish a small number of clean maternal stock plants, induce of new shoots and roots, graft scions onto rootstocks and then acclimatization of the young vines for outdoor planting. Our preliminary data indicate that melatonin and serotonin are indoleamine plant growth regulators (IPGRs) that increase the rates of survival, regeneration and shoot proliferation in grapevines. We hypothesize that IPGRs enhance plant cell survival through detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This research program will determine the role(s) of IPGR in grapevine resilience and regeneration and will provide maternal stock plants for commercial propagation and replanting.

L2M – AquaFishSense

AquaFishSense addresses the pressing issue of outdated and insufficient information available to fisheries, which impedes their ability to operate sustainably and efficiently. Fisheries face significant challenges due to the lack of real-time data on fish populations and aquatic habitats. This gap in information leads to overexploitation of marine resources, with approximately 34% of global fish stocks being overexploited or depleted. The absence of accurate and up-to-date mapping of fish locations results in operational inefficiencies, causing fisheries to waste time and resources on less productive areas. The root cause of these challenges is the reliance on traditional, imprecise data collection methods that fail to provide integrated, near-real-time insights. Fisheries often lack the tools to adapt to changing environmental conditions or to identify optimal fishing zones, which exacerbates overfishing and habitat destruction. This inefficiency not only threatens marine biodiversity but also impacts the economic sustainability of fishing operations. The inability to pinpoint productive fishing areas results in reduced catch efficiency and increased operational costs. Addressing these issues with advanced satellite and AI-driven solutions is crucial for enhancing fishing practices, improving sustainability, and supporting better management of marine resources.
